Ling Yun looked around; there weren't many people in the auction house, not even a third of the seats were filled.
On the auction stage, the host was introducing something that looked like a bone.
Ling Yun couldn't help but frown. This thing seemed to be a left leg Spirit Bone of some Spirit Beast. After listening carefully, he finally understood what the host was saying.
"This item is the left leg Spirit Bone of a Thirty-Thousand Year Spirit Beast, a Thundercloud Leopard. As everyone knows, ever since the Beast Alliance, a Spirit Beast force, appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest half a year ago…
…the entire Star Dou Great Forest has become like an impenetrable fortress. It has become extremely difficult for us humans to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts.
Many powerhouses who entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts have fallen within the Star Dou Great Forest. Now, the Star Dou Great Forest is already a forbidden zone for us humans."
The host sighed heavily, revealing a look of regret. However, the expression of regret only lasted for a few seconds before his tone suddenly changed.
"However, how can a mere Beast Alliance stop the progress of our human struggle?
This Thirty-Thousand Year Thundercloud Leopard left leg Spirit Bone is the result of an adventure group secretly entering the Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast area of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Spirit!"
The host spoke with rising and falling intonation, his tone becoming much heavier.
"For this, this adventure group lost more than half of its members, with only a small portion returning. Everyone should know the value of this left leg Spirit Bone, right?
The starting bid is Two Hundred Thousand gold coins! Each bid must not be less than Ten Thousand gold coins. The bidding starts now!"
When the host shouted "Two Hundred Thousand gold coins," the entire venue exploded.
"Two Hundred Twenty Thousand!"
"Two Hundred Fifty Thousand!"
"Two Hundred Sixty Thousand!"
…
In just under ten seconds, this Thirty-Thousand Year grade Spirit Bone had already surpassed Three Hundred Fifty Thousand, and it was still rapidly increasing.
Ling Yun's main body and the Puppet Yu Xiaogang he controlled almost jumped out of their seats, exclaiming in unison.
"Are these guys crazy? Is a Thirty-Thousand Year Spirit Bone worth so much?"
What a joke, is the left leg Spirit Bone of a Thirty-Thousand Year Thundercloud Leopard really worth this much? It shouldn't be.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they spoke,
five or six people in front heard their strange shouts, turned their heads, and stared at them as if they were idiots.
"They're really two bumpkins. They don't even know how precious Spirit Bones are now. Such a fuss."
"Exactly. At this time, the Star Dou Great Forest has become a human forbidden zone. Entering it once means the possibility of total annihilation.
Only the Sunset Forest and the lower-level Hunting Soul Forest allow humans to enter and exit freely. Now, the value of a Thirty-Thousand Year Spirit Bone is no less than that of a Sixty or Seventy-Thousand Year Spirit Bone in the past."
"We can't blame them. One is a level 29 good-for-nothing, and the other is level 16, but only six or seven years old. It would be a miracle if they understood the value of this Spirit Bone."
…
Feeling the discussions of these people, Ling Yun twitched his mouth, trying to calm his mood, and pretended to concentrate on the auction.
The people in front who had mocked him saw that Puppet Yu Xiaogang and he had both calmed down, so they stopped chattering and shifted their attention back to the auction stage.
Soon, the price of this Spirit Bone broke through the 500,000 mark. At 570,000 gold coins, the crowd's bidding enthusiasm finally waned.
The host's face now showed joy: "570,000 gold coins, is there anyone else bidding? 570,000 once, 570,000 twice…"
Just as the host was about to call out "570,000 three times," a hoarse voice gritted its teeth and shouted.
"600,000! I don't care anymore! This Spirit Bone is mine!"
Ling Yun felt this voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it before. After thinking carefully, he suddenly realized.
Oh my, isn't this the voice of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Clan Head, who is also Yu Xiaogang's father? No wonder he felt a familiar aura.
Ling Yun immediately turned his gaze to the red area and saw a familiar back stand up from his seat, looking resolute.
Since Ling Yun had simultaneously devoured Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng, his memory of Yu Yuanzhen was deeply ingrained.
Even if that old fellow had turned to ash, Ling Yun was confident he could easily recognize him.
"It really is that old fellow. But shouldn't this old fellow already have a Spirit Bone?
Buying this Thirty-Thousand Year grade Spirit Bone shouldn't be of much use to him, right? Spending 600,000 gold coins on a Thirty-Thousand Year Spirit Bone, this old fellow must have some issues."
Just then, Ling Yun felt a surge from Yu Xiaogang's heart. Clearly, he had also recognized that old fellow, Yu Yuanzhen.
Although Yu Xiaogang was a puppet at this moment, he still possessed some self-awareness and could handle many matters.
Currently, Ling Yun's mental force controlled the body, but the consciousness still existed.
Even if it was only a partial consciousness, it would be a miracle if Yu Xiaogang had no reaction to Yu Yuanzhen, his biological father.
Ling Yun directly withdrew the mental force controlling Yu Xiaogang, no longer suppressing his consciousness, and said lightly.
"Go see him later. Your father isn't easy either. Don't wait until one day your father suddenly passes away, and you don't even get a chance to see him one last time."
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, a tear flowing from his eye: "As you command, Master, I understand."
Ling Yun did not continue speaking, watching Yu Yuanzhen follow the reception lady out, clearly to make the payment.
Ling Yun estimated that Yu Yuanzhen was probably going to give that Spirit Bone to his own grandson, who was Puppet Yu Tianheng.
Currently, Puppet Yu Tianheng was at Tiandou Royal Academy. Ling Yun hadn't managed that side for a while, letting Puppet Yu Tianheng handle matters himself.
As long as Puppet Yu Tianheng didn't overstep, Ling Yun didn't need to worry about him disobeying his commands.
The Evil God Puppet Manipulation Technique made the puppets worship Ling Yun as a deity. As long as something like what happened with Tang San didn't occur, then there was no fear of the puppets being disloyal.
The Thirty-Thousand Year grade Spirit Bone was now taken, and everyone present was filled with envy.
A Thirty-Thousand Year Spirit Bone sold for 600,000 gold coins; this was definitely a huge profit.
This made them want to try their luck in the Star Dou Great Forest, but then they remembered that the Star Dou Great Forest was a place where even Spirit Hall had to suffer losses, so they decided against it.
Spirit Hall had issued an order half a year ago that all Spirit Hall members were forbidden from entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
It was said to be because of a Hundred-Thousand Year Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, but now, no one knew where that Hundred-Thousand Year Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was.
However, there were rumors that a month or two ago, that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger had evolved from Hundred-Thousand Year to over Two Hundred Thousand Year.
And it had once descended outside the Heaven Dou Imperial City, its evil tiger might making the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City feel uneasy.
So, they figured it was better to give up. What if they went to the Star Dou Great Forest and were completely annihilated?
No matter how much money you have, you need to be alive to spend it…
